Why choose FreightLogs as your eCMR solution?

FreightLogs digitizes the central eCMR process without replacing your existing transportation planning. This reduces administrative effort, accelerates follow-up processes, and creates traceable digital documentation for every shipment.

  • Integration into existing systems and processes
  • End-to-end traceability and a digital audit trail
  • Faster availability of delivery confirmations
  • No app installation required for drivers.
  • Less paper, scans, and manual follow-up work
  • Guided introduction by experienced integration experts

How does FreightLogs reduce manual effort?

Paper documents must be distributed, checked, scanned, processed, and archived. FreightLogs digitally captures, processes, and archives transport data and documents for the long term.

  • Less administrative effort in dispatch and back office
  • No illegible scans or missing documents
  • Easier document distribution and tracking

When speed makes the difference

Digital proof of delivery is available immediately after the shipment is completed. This allows downstream processes such as document verification, customer notification, and invoicing to begin sooner.

  • Faster availability of signed transport documents
  • Automatic transfer of status and document data
  • Earlier invoicing and shorter billing cycles

Seamless integration with your existing systems

FreightLogs is not an additional transport management system. It complements existing processes by digitizing the consignment note and document workflow.

  • API integration with TMS, ERP, WMS, DMS, or EDI systems
  • Automatic import of existing transport data
  • Flexible implementation: from browser-based entry to deep system integration
  • Enables partial and step-by-step eCMR digitization

What makes eCMR more transparent than paper CMR?

All relevant transport steps are documented digitally. Status updates, timestamps, signatures, comments, and supporting documents are traceable and centrally available at all times.

  • Current transport status can be viewed at any time
  • Changes and events are available in real time
  • Complete and standardized transport documentation
  • All parties have access to the same information

Compliance and future readiness

Audit-proof documentation and archiving

All changes and process steps to the eCMR are recorded through a continuous audit trail, ensuring full traceability and audit-ready archiving.

OLF - Actively shaping standards

As a member of the Open Logistics Foundation, EDITEL actively contributes to industry standards and incorporates emerging technical and regulatory developments into the ongoing development of FreightLogs.

Legally compliant documentation in the transport process

Status changes, delivery confirmations and documents are always fully and transparently available – for greater security in the case of complaints and liability issues.

Prepared for future eFTI requirements

The FreightLogs architecture is designed with future eFTI requirements in mind. Functionalities and electronic communication with authorities are being implemented progressively in line with regulatory developments.

The next step: Digitization of transport documents

Paper-based waybills still function in many places today. However, they lead to media breaks, manual rework, and delays in invoicing and document verification.

At the same time, regulatory frameworks in Europe are clearly evolving towards digital transport information. Regulations such as the Spanish DCA demonstrate that digital document availability, archiving, and process security are becoming increasingly important. FreightLogs from EDITEL already meets these requirements and supports companies in efficiently implementing digital transport processes.

You don't need to implement a new TMS or overhaul all your processes at once. EDITEL supports you in selecting the right entry scenario – from a ready-to-use web application to automated integration.

How FreightLogs supports your transport workflow

See how your transport data, driver access, execution updates, and document follow-up can be handled in one digital flow.

  • Create the eCMR: Transport data is transferred from your existing TMS or ERP setup, with supporting documents added where needed.
  • Invite drivers and partners: Drivers receive SMS access, while partners can join via system integration or simple digital access.
  • Confirm loading digitally: Data is checked at the loading point and handover is confirmed with a digital signature.
  • Track transport in real time: Status updates, comments, photos, and incident details are captured directly during execution.
  • Complete delivery and archive automatically: Receipt is confirmed digitally, connected systems are updated, and the eCMR is stored for long-term access.

Frequently asked questions

No. Drivers receive a link via SMS and can open FreightLogs directly in their browser. No app installation or complex registration process is required.

Yes. Browser-based access allows external transport partners to be easily integrated into the digital process. The specific implementation depends on your transport and authorization concept.

FreightLogs can be used on common smartphones, tablets and other browser-enabled devices.

The effort required depends on the desired level of automation. A browser-based entry point is possible with minimal technical hurdles. For deeper integration, EDITEL experts analyze your processes and interfaces and support the implementation until productive operation.

Integration is possible with TMS, ERP, WMS, DMS, and EDI systems, among others. Depending on the existing infrastructure, systems such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, CargoSoft, Oracle, or Infor, as well as REST, are possible.AS2-,SFTP- and EDI interfaces can be connected.

Digital waybills significantly reduce the effort required for paper, printing, shipping, scanning, document retrieval, manual data entry, and archiving. Additionally, proof of delivery can be processed more quickly and invoices generated earlier. The specific savings potential depends on transport volume and process structure.

Deviations, comments, photos, and supplementary evidence can be directly assigned to the transport process. This makes the information available more quickly and in a structured manner for further processing.

FreightLogs supports companies in digitizing their transport documents and already meets the requirements of the Spanish DCA regulation. At the same time, the solution provides a solid foundation for implementing further European initiatives such as eFTI.
